Bath re-enamelling in Waresley without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a coating lifting around the plughole.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Waresley
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Waresley
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Waresley?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Common reasons people in Waresley contact us are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
